<h2><a name="_Toc368632613">Solution Manager</a></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">The central column in the main window is a list of 
solutions stored on the server.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Each 
solution contains a set of annotations with class labels, feature generators, 
and classifiers. Currently the only feature generator available is ImageJ, and 
the only classifier is LIBSVM. Others options are in development. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using the solution manager feature generators can be 
evaluated and classifiers can be trained and tested.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;
</span>To get started, double click on an existing solution or click on 
"Solution Manager." <span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;</span>Either will display 
the Solution Manager window seen below. Within this window users can create and 
populate class labels with reference images and annotations.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;
</span>Each class contains a set of image references, and each image reference 
contains a set of annotations. To create and utilize a new solution simply 
follow the steps below.</p>
